it's gonna get immediately folded into disney+ which sucks and won't really making disney+ all that more appealing to folks. hulu as its own brand that has existed for many years > $14 a month to watch bad star wars and marvel shows [embedded post]

I wonder how long Disney will keep the Hulu brand before just giving up and adding all of Hulu's shows into Disney+. [embedded post]

Disney paid $4 billion for Star Wars. Buying full control of Hulu will cost a little over two Star Warses.

COMCAST responds: “We look forward to the appraisal process and the determination of Hulu's fair market value which we expect will reflect the extraordinary value of the business.” It's on!

As expected, Disney will buy out Comcast's 33% in Hulu. — Will pay $8.61b by Dec. 1, based on $27.5b valuation set from 2019 put/call deal — Hulu will be appraised and if found to be worth more, Disney will pay the difference — Deal will be fully completed sometime next year

This isn't the announcement of a Hulu deal so much as a declaration by Disney that they're starting negotiations with Comcast over fair price for Hulu—and they're starting position is, predictably, the lowest-possible offer: $8.61 billion. Final appraisal won't be til next year.
